Our Story
While GaraDry® LLC operates as an American company, the brand itself traces its origins back to a small village in England, where it was first founded in 2009. The company began with a simple but ambitious goal: to engineer the world’s most effective garage door threshold seals.
From those early beginnings, GaraDry® quickly built a reputation for innovation, quality, and performance. Combining practical design with real-world problem solving, the brand grew from a small British startup into a globally recognized name trusted by customers around the world.
Our Founder
GaraDry® was founded by Mr. Ashley Smith, an industrial designer from England and a graduate of the University of Central Lancashire (BA Industrial Design). With over 30 years of combined experience in product design, engineering, and the garage door industry, Ashley has led the company with a clear focus on performance, durability, and continuous innovation.
Engineered for Performance
Every GaraDry® product is designed using advanced engineering principles and manufactured with precision processes to ensure long-lasting performance. Our threshold seals are built to protect against water intrusion, debris, snow, extreme temperatures, and UV exposure, helping to keep garages clean, dry, and energy efficient.
Fast U.S. Delivery, Global Expertise
While our products are engineered using proven British design expertise, all U.S. orders are fulfilled locally from our Tennessee distribution center. This allows us to combine international engineering excellence with fast, dependable American shipping.
Trusted Worldwide
GaraDry® is proud to be recognized globally for quality and innovation. The company was honored with the King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade in 2023—one of the UK’s highest business achievements.
In the United States, GaraDry® products are trusted by leading organizations across a range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing, where reliability and performance are essential.
A Family Business You Can Trust
Despite our international growth, GaraDry® remains a family-run business at heart. We are committed to providing honest advice, expert support, fast delivery, and exceptional value to every customer we serve.
